Bill Summary

This bill proposes to exclude members of the legislative body of a municipality from the definition of employee for the purpose of State minimum wage and overtime provisions.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Vermont law concerning minimum wage and overtime protections by adding a new exception to the definition of "employee." Specifically, it seeks to exclude "elected and appointed municipal officers" from being considered employees for the purposes of state minimum wage and overtime provisions, meaning these individuals would no longer be entitled to these protections under current state law. This change is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
